According to the preliminary statistics of Huaneng Power International, Inc., (the “Company”), in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company’s total power generation by power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 100.21 billion kWh, representing an increase of 23.57% over the same period last year. Total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 94.140 billion kWh, representing an increase of 23.76% over the same period last year. For the whole year of 2017, the Company’s total power generation by the power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 394.481 billion kWh, representing an increase of 25.76% over the same period last year, and the total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 371.399 billion kWh, representing an increase of 25.56% over the same period last year. For the whole year of 2017, the Company’s average on-grid electricity settlement price for its power plants within China amounted to RMB414.01 per MWh, representing an increase of 4.39% over the same period last year.

2.
the thermal power generation in central China, eastern China and Guangdong increased year on year; and

3.
the increase in power generation brought by the commencement in operation by new generation units at Beijing Thermal Power (gas turbine), Suzhou Gas Turbine and Rudong Offshore Wind Power, etc.
